A political bombshell rocks Washington as explosive new evidence suggests a coordinated effort by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Obama White House to launch the Trump-Russia collusion narrative — a plot now labeled a "treasonous conspiracy" by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
Whistleblower accounts point to a deliberate scheme to undermine a duly elected president.
Declassified documents released Friday by Gabbard reveal what she calls "overwhelming evidence" of a coordinated effort by the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign to fabricate the Trump-Russia collusion narrative.
The allegations, described as a "years-long coup" against President Donald Trump, implicate top Obama-era officials, including former President Barack Obama, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, and former National Security Adviser Susan Rice.
Investigative reporter Paul Sperry, citing texts and emails, reported that Clinton campaign aides directly coordinated with the Obama White House, National Security Council, State Department, and intelligence officials in July 2016 to tie Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin.
"I’m told there are texts/emails indicating Hillary Clinton campaign aides directly coordinated with the Obama White House, NSC, State Dept and Intelligence Community officials in efforts to dig up dirt tying Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin in July 2016 …developing…" Sperry stated on X on Sunday.

Gabbard, appearing on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, called the findings "historic" and accused Obama and his senior national security team of subverting the will of the American people.
"The effect of what President Obama and his senior national security team did was subvert the will of the American people, undermining our democratic republic, and enacting what would be essentially a years-long coup against President Trump, who was duly elected by the American people," she said.

Gabbard alleged the administration knowingly advanced false intelligence claiming Russia helped Trump win in 2016, contradicting prior assessments that found no evidence of Russian intent or capability to manipulate the election.
Among the documents is a September 12, 2016, Intelligence Community Assessment stating, "Foreign adversaries do not have and will probably not obtain the capabilities to successfully execute widespread and undetected cyber attacks" on election infrastructure.
A December 7, 2016, report from Clapper’s office added, "Foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the US Presidential election outcome," with no evidence of manipulation intended to change results.
Yet, days later, on December 9, 2016, Obama met with Clapper, Brennan, Comey, Rice, Secretary of State John Kerry, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and others to task them with investigating "Russia Election Meddling."

This led to a January 7, 2017, Intelligence Community Assessment that claimed Russian interference favored Trump, a conclusion Gabbard says "directly contradicted" earlier findings and relied on the debunked Steele dossier.

Gabbard’s office released over 100 pages of emails, memos, and records, including a whistleblower account from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
The whistleblower, pressured to accept the 2017 assessment, wrote, "As for the 2017 ICA’s judgement of a decisive Russian preference for then-candidate Donald Trump, I could not concur in good conscience based on information available, and my professional analytic judgement."
The whistleblower’s superior responded, "You need to trust me on this," citing unreleased reporting, likely the Steele dossier.
Gabbard plans to forward the documents to the Department of Justice and FBI for a criminal referral, vowing indictments for those involved.
"We have whistleblowers, actually, coming forward now after we released these documents because there are people who were around, who were working within the intelligence community at this time who were so disgusted by what happened," she said. "They… want to see justice delivered… there must be indictments. Those responsible, no matter how powerful they are and were at that time, no matter who was involved in creating this treasonous conspiracy against the American people, they all must be held accountable."

Democrats, including Rep. Jim Himes, ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, dismissed Gabbard’s claims as "baseless."
Obama, Clapper, Comey, Brennan, Rice, Lynch, and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe have yet to address the charges.
Hillary, desperate to dodge her email scandal, cooked up this Russia hoax with Obama’s inner circle, weaponizing the FBI, CIA, and NSC to spy on Trump and sabotage his presidency.
The question now: will the Department of Justice act on these explosive claims?
